About this collection

Natural organic matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of organic compounds which undergo further biotic and abiotic transformations in various environmental matrices. It is an important nutrient source for the microbial community, and serves as a major reservoir of carbon in the global carbon cycle; however, due to the complexity and diversity of its components understanding NOM is challenging.

Here, we have collated a selection of research articles and reviews which showcase the ongoing research on the topic of NOM – we hope you enjoy reading these papers!
